Chiropractor

Greg Driedger D.C.

“Let the spine unwind”

Dr. Greg D.C. has been serving the Calgary community as a chiropractor since 2008. He became interested in chiropractic as a profession when his first wife was diagnosed with cancer almost 20 years ago.

As he participated in researching ways to assist in the body in achieving full health again, what soon became apparent was that our everyday choices and lifestyles were potentially a huge contributor to our complete health and well-being. This research eventually altered the course of his life. In 2004 he was accepted into the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto and never looked back. Over the years Dr. Greg D.C. has arrived at his own unique way to look at complete health with chiropractic care and a healthy spine/nervous system as an essential foundation of optimal health and well-being.

“The wonderful part of being a chiropractor is the array of techniques that are available to assist the body to become well again. There’s no need to be a one-size fits all chiropractor anymore. Light touch techniques, instrument adjusting, manual adjustments, upper cervical care, traction techniques, full spinal correction are among the many different techniques available to help patients get better. The body is designed to heal. It is part of your innate gift as a human being. It doesn’t matter if you cut yourself when you’re an infant or if you’re over 90, you still have the ability to heal. It’s usually not time or age that is the problem, it’s the accumulation and exacerbation of stressors over time that eventually create the issues that drive people into our office. The focus on healing then is simply to assist the body in un-doing the effects of accumulated stress.”

Growing up in Sparwood, BC just across the AB/BC border, close to the world-famous Fernie ski hill, Dr. Greg D.C. has called Calgary home since 1986. An avid outdoor, exercise, nutrition, and overall personal development enthusiast, Dr. Greg D.C. presently lives in Calgary with his wife Treena, and their two daughters Zoey and Abi. Their family lives for the outdoors in all seasons that don’t rhyme with “winter”. The family passion is water sports! Waterskiing, wake-boarding, surfing…and more!

Massage Therapist

Teagan, RMT

Teagan is a registered massage therapist who graduated from Makami College with a 3000 hour massage therapy certification in Dec 2020. She is trained in deep tissue, relaxation, and cupping massage. You may also recognise her from the up front reception staff.

Massage Therapist

Zoey, RMT

Zoey started massaging at the age of 8, where she ran around the camping ground trading toonies for shoulder rubs. She has since gone through professional training at Mount Royal University and is now a Registered Massage Therapist. She is also the office manager at Mckenzie Lake Chiropractic so you may encounter her on rare occasions at the front of the clinic instead of hiding in the massage room.

Although she likes to think of herself as a relaxation massage therapist, this is delusional. Zoey is first and foremost a "let's go get it" massage therapist and does not shy away from pressure to get results. If you prefer a specific deep tissue massage, she's your gal. She has also been certified in dynamic cupping. This form of cupping is different than most as it focuses on movement with the cup and/or with the joints to reduce muscle tension, increase range of motion, decrease fascial restrictions, assist in scar tissue healing and other benefits! Be aware this treatment has a risk of marking. If you've seen an athlete who looks like they've been attacked by an octopus you know what to expect.

But like a coin Zoey has two sides to her treatment. Although she is a deep tissue therapist, Zoey has a soft spot for relaxation massages. She loves pampering her clients with warmth, care and a place to escape from the stresses of being alive. She has her training in Gua Sha and Fascial cupping which is a blissful finish to any treatment. Top that off with ear reflexology and walk out feeling like a new person.

Ear reflexology! What's that? Did you know that there are 60 acupressure points in the ear that connect to your whole body? During a reflexology treatment you receive a neck, scalp, and ear massage, afterwards Zoey would treat your ear and apply seeds directly to your individual specific pressure points! This treatment can be stand-alone or added to a regular massage for no extra charge.

Massage Therapist

Peter, RMT

If The Punisher tattoo on his forearm wasn't the first clue…

Peter is amazing! 20+ years of rehab therapy. A lifetime of martial arts. A lifetime of bodybuilding, strongman competitions, powerlifting. The biggest heart you are ever going to find and just wants to help. Peter is continually learning, has MVA and stroke rehab therapy and his latest and greatest CHIRODONTICS! (Chirodontics = migraine/headache relief, TMJ issues, dental issues, face and skull reshaping & pain syndromes, whiplash/concussion symptoms, and more.)

Peter is a graduate of the Mount Royal University massage program and has been involved in rehabilitation in many forms for the last 20 plus years from athletics. His hobbies include bodybuilding, strong man competitions, powerlifting and martial arts training. Through his years of hard work and determination, massage therapy was a key support system he used to maintain his physical wellbeing. Practicing massage has been a natural transition from the rehab and Personal Training role he's been fulfilling for many years. Both modalities are very beneficial and add to his capabilities as a massage therapist.

Peter's main style is Deep Tissue (if you hadn't guessed) but has been known to give great facial, scalp, hand and foot massages. His continuing focus will be on headaches, concussions, and TMJD treatments through Chirodontics as above, and later, deep myofascial release.

And just so you know, there will be no spa music, classic rock is his melody of choice!

We would like to introduce you to our Office Manager, Heather Hall!
